Microsoft

Hello. How is everyone? Can we now pretend like EA didn’t go yesterday? Can we pretend like Microsoft is the one who started E3? If you didn’t see today’s Microsoft E3 conference, you may be wondering: “Why would we do that?” Well…hey…I can’t give away my entire article in this introduction. Instead, lets JUMP IN. I had my doubts going into this years Microsoft E3 conference. Xbox just hasn’t been doing too great lately. And then I saw the conference…

Microsoft has been playing it safe lately. Too safe. They just keep letting third parties take the lead and keep releasing revisions of the Xbox One. And they are lagging behind Playstation and the Switch. Microsoft needs to shake things up. And so, here are my wild and most likely completely wrong predictions of what they’ll do at E3 to shock us all. There will be no new Xbox hardware at E3 2018. Instead, Microsoft will pummel us with reasons…

Microsoft's focus in 2018 so far has been multiplayer experiences; this began with Sea of Thieves which launched just a few months ago in March, which has been followed up by the highly anticipated open world zombie game, State of Decay 2. While spending time with friends in this expansive world is lots of fun, technical hiccups and lack of variety hold this title back from being one of the brightest on the Xbox

When early photos of the E3 2018 show floor were leaked to the public, many people scratched their heads and wondered why, when compared to Nintendo and Sony, Microsoft's booth space was so small! Well, thanks to an announcement today by Xbox leadership, the reasoning behind that has been made clear. While Microsoft will still have a presence on the show floor at E3 this year, they are moving the bulk of their announcements and games to an entirely different venue, the Microsoft Theatre.

I asked a bunch of my twitter friends/followers if they had any questions for me and they delievered! So todays More Thoughts From Me is a Q&A. You had questions and I have answers! Here are the questions in bold and then my answers: GTM618 asked: “VR. Is it the future? Or a fad” I want to say VR is a fad but it keeps coming back. We can’t get rid of it! It was here in the 90s, then…

One of the biggest title hitting console and PC this holiday season is Star Wars Battlefront 2. After affair amount of early controversy - and some action on behalf of Electronic Arts - things are moving along pretty well for this galactic giant, as it tries to recapture the magic of the first Star Wars Battlefront release on Xbox a few years back. From a gameplay perspective, it's so-far-so-good, with online matches proving to be a ton of fun, and the inclusion of a single player experience a definite improvement over the last Battlefront title. Overall, EA ...

We all know about the power packed under the hood of the Xbox One X. Microsoft is boasting that their latest console has 40% more power than any other console on the market, with a 2.3 GHz clocked 8-core Custom AMD CPU, 12 GB of GDDR5 of graphics memory, and 6 Teraflop GPU enabled 4K for outstanding picture quality. For your hardcore, technological expert, all of this data means something; for the rest of us, it's a lot of numbers and acronyms that sound great, although we aren't entirely sure what they mean. But at the end of the day, what does the Xbox One ...

The best part about reviewing a game later than other outlets is too see what the chatter is around a specific title, and being able to feed off of that. In general, the majority of outlets are on the same page when it comes to titles, the things they do well, and the things they do poorly. After spending a significant amount of time with the title on Xbox One X, I jumped online to see what the reaction was within the media circle. I was shocked. I was seeing scores of 5 and 6 out of 10, and was flabbergasted on how that was possible. So, I returned to Super ...

Zoo Tycoon was a release title when the Xbox One first launched, and people were really excited to get the beloved PC Tycoon title on their consoles and big screens. Unfortunately, a number of major issues held that original title back, like huge limits on how much people could put in their parks, extremely long load times, and a myriad of technical issues and graphical hiccups. It was a fun, but majorly flawed experience. With the Xbox One X, Microsoft is taking another stab at Zoo Tycoon with the Ultimate Animal Collection. Does the extra power and speed in ...
